replicated the issue with Perfect Vorpal enchantment during EoTS multiple times today severity increase from the enchantment is inactive during EoTS procs in fact, the issue is so pronounced that my icy rays actually hits harder when it crits outside of EoTS than my ice knife does during EoTS tested this over the course of…

would have to be.

you've never soloed syndrith. that much is obvious
-
from personal testing i have to say that i pretty much agree on all counts here, with the exception that i haven't noticed a significant problem with keeping both the HV and smolder debuff up fairly reliably even while wearing HV and only rolling with around 37% crit chance that being said, SW will definitely give you more…
-
while that sort of answers my question theoretically on the issue of the HV debuff vs rimefire/smolder, i find that very often the stated debuff values in the game (30% vs 30%) are often a lot more subjective than the numbers imply, which is why i asked if there was any hard data that i've missed. i'll do some testing of…

i think it is worth mentioning that we seem to be missing a rather large contributor to overall group damage in these tests MoF builds are better served by equipping the shadow weaver set for the lack of wasted stats and high level of innate critical chance, whereas the majority of spellstorm CWs i know run either high…
-
keep in mind that those are the un-empowered stats for the weapon set if i recall correctly from the preview shard, their empowered stats are (damage-wise) equivalent to the dread legion set (top end damage of 827), making them superior to CN weapons in terms of base damage, with the addition of a separate slot for a black…

i find it absolutely absurd that the two of you continue to argue about how to best alter the class to keep it in line with other classes/make it less attractive to bring multiple wizards to dungeons you CAN'T do it by altering the class short of removing the control wizard from the game entirely, there is no possible way…

i certainly understand the rationale behind trying to make customers stay longer, but i don't think that extending poor content is going to keep customers longer than creating better content. I also don't really believe that content becomes more interesting simply because it takes longer every attempted nerf to CW thus far…
-
i really don't believe that any amount of "adjustment" is going to make up for poor dungeon design. When you design dungeons to be a giant AoE-fest with no strategy/tanking/kill priority inherent, there's really nothing you can do to balance classes when some are designed for mass AoE and some are designed for single…

restructured and reposted below

i'm positive that i'm looking in the right directory, as the old combat log file from the NW alpha test install of the game (when i was in the alpha obviously) was still in the appropriate directory folder when i began investigating the issue i'm having now. I've since deleted that old combat log file, searched my C:\ for…

i have a suspicion that the odds generators for these types of upgrades work on a global scale, as verilos suggested, just like they do in many other MMOs. That being said, basically, your odds of success are being lumped together with the odds of success on every other upgrade attempt currently being performed in the zone…
-
from my experience, the actual damage difference between the skills isn't large enough to make either of them a must. MM certainly helps to maintain arcane stacks, but more often than not, if you're not frontloading your dps on trash regardless of stacks, it'll be dead before you can max them anyways. in terms of CC, the…
-
it was an interesting idea, but after deleting the current combat log file, the game will not write a new one in its place even with /combatlog 1 set. put a ticket in to technical support for this one, but i'm not holding my breath for a response edit: hoping to avoid having to do a full reinstall here, so if anyone has…
-
all files are in fact set to read only, but even after going in manually and clearing the read only property, the files automatically reset to read only immediately after applying the change any suggestions? edit: finally got the combat log file itself to stay off read only, but the game for some reason still won't…
-
actually having some issues with ACT myself since the last patch for some reason, even with the proper parameters set, the game will not export combat logs to the Combatlog.log file so they can be read by ACT. I've tried resetting the parameter to see if there was some error there, but the game still won't save the log…

ideally, you'd want to have one wizard using greater plaguefire, and either another wizard, or a hunter ranger, using perfect terror to maximize your AoE debuffing. you'd want one wizard at least to be thaum, for the 15% debuff from conduit of ice plus the 10% debuff from elemental empowerment. aside from that, GFs, TRs,…
-
it seems to me that they're thinking that they overstepped in making the HV bonus as good as it is, and don't want to create anything else nearly as powerful in the future that might broaden the gap between CW and other classes in terms of damage. It leaves me to wonder if the end result will simply be the removal of the…
-
just....no lol 900 power will never, under any circumstances, give you up to a 20% damage increase on any skill. you need to check ACT again
-
a pure buffing CW paragon path sounds like an interesting idea in theory, but i'm afraid that until some adjustments are made to other classes, the loss of damage you'd incur by using this sort of path might make things difficult on groups who rely on the AoE damage a spellstorm CW can put out. you've also included sudden…
-
keep in mind that you're also losing a rather significant amount of regen by dropping high vizier for a 2+2 set, and although the lifesteal from the dread legion set would be of some benefit, regen is a much more reliable source of HP returns. If your regen is going to go below 1k, i'd certainly suggest sticking with high…
-
that's what i assumed, but as i mentioned before, was just looking to clarify to make sure i wasn't getting wonky test data
-
i agree entirely with the assessment that elemental is better overall for party damage as a whole. I was merely asking the question because you stated an increase in single target damage of 8-12% over transcended master in your original post, which i didn't believe was correct if you took both nightmare wizardry AND…
-
i'll check my numbers again, but it seems that even when using RoE, i'm still getting higher damage using transcended master than elemental empowerment, since the arcane debuff from elemental empowerment is up less than 50% of the time on single target. i still seem to eke out more damage from higher icy rays crits i was…
-
i've been doing some playing around with a build very similar to this one for a few months now, and tried out elemental empowerment vs transcended master on the test realm pretty extensively this week. I'm curious, did you test this build with both nightmare wizardry and transcended master included? I'm getting noticeably…

a large part of the issue with shard traveling though mobs without exploding at this point seems to be an interaction bug with Hunter Ranger abilities, notably any rooting ability they use seems to cause shard to ignore collisions on affected mobs.
-
so i'm a little confused here. in this post, you detail that you think that any CW that isn't using MM as their main at will doesn't know what they're doing, and yet your guide and subsequent posts on this thread recommend using Chilling Cloud as a superior at will. Care to explain?

people seem unhappy that they need to learn how to do something other than press 3 buttons to farm loot those of us (like kerrovitarra for example) who have been playing the class as something beyond an exploit bot are happy to see this nerf to shield AP coming, because it makes us more valuable in groups those of us who…
